Valencia will be looking to end a run of three straight defeats in Spain’s top flight when they continue their 2019-20 campaign away to Granada on Saturday night.
Los Che’s disappointing run of form has seen them drop into 10th position in the table, level on points with ninth-placed Granada, with both sides now facing an uphill task to make the top six.

With a 2-0 victory vs Alavés in their last La Liga (LL) outing, Granada CF snapped a four-game winless run in the league (D2, L2). That result bore some significance, as each of their last seven top-flight fixtures (goalless draws excluded) have seen the opening goal scored in the opening half hour.

Lately, Granada have been very much in the habit of conceding first in LL home matches, doing so in five of their last six league home fixtures. Consequently, the hosts have led at the break in only one of their last 12 LL home games.

Aiming to put an end to a run of three consecutive losses in the league, Valencia CF know how important scoring first in this game could be. Significantly, each of their last five top-fight fixtures have seen only one side scoring (W1, L4).

The visitors travel to Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes with the league’s joint-worst ten-game away form ahead of the round (W1, D2, L7). In fact, a 2-0 away loss in their last LL away outing bore some significance, as “Los Ches” have failed to score in all but one of their last six LL road trips (D1, L5).
